PlayStation Store sale: 7 discounted PS4 games to buy now

Sony’s PlayStation Store has two sales going on simultaneously right now: A Big in Japan sale, which celebrates games emanating from the Land of the Rising Sun, and a very welcome Under $20 sale. With much of the world on lockdown due to the novel coronavirus‘ spread, it’s a good time to take advantage of the dual deals.

But there are lots and lots of games discounted right now, so where do you start?

Capcom

After an awesome reimagining in 2013’s DmC, the traditional Devil May Cry franchise made a comeback with last year’s acclaimed Devil May Cry 5. In it, you play as both Dante and Nero (who was introduced in Devil May Cry 4 all the way back in 2008), as well as a very mysterious chap named V. It’s a slick-looking action game that was loved by critics: It holds an 88 rating on Metacritic, and earned a 9 from GameSpot, our sister site.

Devil May Cry 5 usually fetches $50 on the PlayStation Store. The 50% off deal runs through to May 9.

Ubisoft

Assassin’s Creed will soon go the way of the vikings, with AC: Valhalla announced for 2020. But it’s still worth diving into Egypt, as 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origins is on sale for just $15. It’s a visually spectacular game that you’ll get dozens of hours out of.

Ubisoft

This 2018 video game takes place in a fictional region of Montana, and is clearly inspired by modern politics. But don’t let real-world headaches stop you: It’s certainly mostly about giving you a huge sandbox in which to explore, do spectacular missions and, most importantly, blow stuff up in.

Square Enix

Final Fantasy 7 Remake launched on April 10, but it’s only the first part of the Final Fantasy 7 saga. It takes Cloud, Barrett, Tifa, Aerith and Red XIII up ’till the point at which they leave Midgar. Despite being a 40-hour game, this whole section took around 4 to 7 hours in the original.

If you played 7 Remake you’re either wondering what’s next for the gang, or feeling nostalgic about the places you’ve yet to see remade. Either way, a discounted Final Fantasy 7 can scratch that itch.

Warner Bros.

Perhaps you just want to relax by wreaking havoc from the shadows. Hitman 2 is the sequel to 2016’s Hitman, which was a revitalization of a PlayStation 2-era series. You’re given a target and, using your creativity, stealthily take them out. A classic formula, and it’s still a thrill. Read GameSpot’s Hitman 2 review. It’s $18 until May 14.
